Q

Octet rule

A

Every atoms outer shell must be full
8 valance electrons is a full outer shell
An atom is happy with a full outer shell or a neutral charge

Q

Van der Waal force

A

Proximity bond or when two atoms stick together without bonding electrons

17
Q

Cation

A

A positive ion

18
Q

Anion

19
Q

Rules for writing molecular formulas

A

Cations go first
No big numbers in middle
Charge=superscript
Quantity of ions is written as subscript

20
Q

Balancing equations

A

Reactions on left and products on right

21
Q

Atomic number

A

Protons + electrons

All atoms with same atomic number will behave the same

22
Q

Atomic number

A

Protons + electrons

All atoms with same atomic number will behave the same

23
Q

Neutron

A

To find the amount of neutrons you do this:
Atomic mass - protons
No charge

24
Carbon 12, 13 and 14
Carbon 12 - 6 protons and 6 neutrons Carbon 13 - isotope because neutrons change - 6 protons but 7 neutrons 6 + 7 = 13 (carbon 13) Carbon 14 - also an isotope - 6 protons + 8 neutrons
25
Radioactive Isotopes
- Can track it - medical purposes - carbon dating - Carbon 12, 13 and 14 are radioactive
26
Chemical Formulas
Make sure to remember parentheses in between different molecules ---> Cl(Na)
27
Robert Boyle
An amateur chemist who first labeled substances as either acids or bases
28
Alkalies
A word used to classify bases
29
Acid
A compound that releases hydrogen ions
30
Dissolve
Separating them into individual ions
31
What happens to acids when they are placed in water?
It dissolves and releases a hydrogen ion.
32
Why happens to bases when they are place into water?
They dissolve and release hydroxide ions
33
What happens when you mix an acid and a base together?
They make water because the H+ ions from the acid combines with the H- ions from the bases
34
Johannes Brønsted
Danish scientist | Somehow had to do with the armenhuis theory
35
How is the acidity or basicity of something measured?
pH scale
36
Buffer
A mixture of a weak acid an it's conjugate base or weak base and it's conjugate acid
37
How does an acid become a conjugate base?
When it lose a hydrogen ion
38
How does buffers have the ability to moderate pH?
The replacements of string acids and bases for weaker ones
39
Where are bases found on the pH scale?
8-14
40
Where are acids found on the pH scale?
0-6
41
What Is neutral on the pH scale and what substance is neutral?
